Hello all,
Fairly new husky owner, We got Max when he was only 7 weeks old. He is now 8 months old and he is just amazing. He is indeed our first dog, and so far everyone we've told this too looks at us like we don't know what we are getting ourselves into, but I couldn't help it, huskies have been my favorite dogs since I first laid eyes on the breed when I was little.
He does have his moments, digging at the couch/bed and then chewing on the stuffing he takes out, chewing/eating some furniture, play biting, and still urinates in the house. We have tried a few things with all and he's slowly learning these are not ok, though still having issues with him urinating inside. I'm not sure if he's still trying to mark his territory (he has been fixed) or just urinates whenever he feels the urge, since at times he does a little bit within a minute or two of drinking water. We've tried redirecting him to a potty patch which he did use for his other business when he was still doing that inside, but once he learned only to go outside for that he stopped using it. We've tried pads, but he just starts chewing and dragging those around the house when he finds them. We have been giving him treats and praising him every time he urinates outside in hopes that he catches on, but no such luck. If anyone has any useful ideas on this please let me know.
Other than the few things I've mentioned, Max has been an amazing addition to the family. We all just adore him and can't get enough of him.
Now, what you have been dying for, Max:
